Tanzania sustainable tourism
"We have chosen to design a plan for sustainable tourism, in which the Tanzaniaworkgroup Haren, our client, can work together with the inhabitants of the Same municipality. The Tanzaniaworkgroup Haren is looking for a way to offer Dutch tourists an interesting cultural experience for a few days in which ‘the experiencing of the Tanzanian community from inside out' is the central topic."

Battery problem Senegal (Dutch only)
Senegal is een zonnig land, het is dan ook erg handig om gebruik te maken van zonne-energie want zonnecellen leveren elektrische energie. De zonnecellen worden opgeslagen in accu's. Alleen er is een probleem: er is in Senegal geen inzamelingsen verwerkingssysteem voor oude accu's. Hoe kunnen we voorkomen dat het milieu in Senegal gaat vervuilen, want de schadelijke stoffen kunnen ze niet kwijt. Welk lokaal haalbare technische oplossingen zijn er te ontwikkelen en hoe kunnen deze de lokale economie versterken.
Wij hebben de problemen in Senegal geanalyseerd en gekeken hoe we deze het beste kunnen oplossen. We hebben uitgezocht hoe het in Nederland wordt geregeld en hoe we deze oplossingen kunnen gebruiken in Senegal.
